HMD Global, just as it calls the new Nokia 6 – the Nokia 6.1, will call the new Nokia 3 – the Nokia 3.1.

As for Nokia, both Google and HMD Global have confirmed the coming of Android P to Nokia 7 Plus, which currently runs on Android Oreo.

This has been confirmed by a company official himself.Sarvikas confirmed the coming of Android P to Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 (2017) in a reply to a user query on Twitter. A Twitter user wanted to know if Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 (2017) models will be upgraded to Android P or not. He writes, “Will Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 (2017) get android p”. To which Sarvikas replies by saying, “Yes, they will”. Although the company is yet to release an official statement on the rollout of the Android P update to the Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 2017, this is definitely a sort of official confirmation as well.Sadly, Sarvikas doesn’t reveal any further details about the rollout timeline of Android P to the two Nokia phones though. But, we expect Android P software update to hit Nokia 5, Nokia 6 (2017) probably in the second half of this year. Nokia 5, Nokia 6 (2017) are almost a year old phones. Considering these two old Nokia phones are said to get Android P update, we can definitely expect the recently launched Nokia 6 (2018) and Nokia 8 Sirocco to get Android P update as well.ALSO READ: Nokia X6 launched with iPhone X-like notch, Snapdragon 636, dual rear cameras and 16MP selfie shooterComing to the new phone that HMD Global is currently said to be working on, the new Nokia 3 or Nokia 3 (2018) or Nokia 3.1 now.
